As for the numbers of native african people sold into slavery, the numbers range from 10 millions toward 15 millions on a quick check.
It seems some estimate how many were caught.
Others count how many survived the trip.
It's more than 400.000 by a wide margin one way or another.
So that comparision was pretty much off.
I fully realize you don't mean it like this wording makes it sound.
The problem is not with my wording, but with your poor reading comprehension. Americans develop skills well past yours by the age of nine. I did not say anything about the numbers of Africans victimized by the Atlantic trade. I said the US brought in fewer slaves when it was legal and this is entirely correct. We brought 388k African slaves in directly. The 400,000 figure is indeed greater than that.
AI says “Approximately 388,000 enslaved Africans were directly transported to North America during the transatlantic slave trade. However, an additional 60,000 to 70,000 Africans may have arrived in the United States after being initially taken to the Caribbean, bringing the total to around 450,000. This represents a small fraction of the total 12.5 million Africans forced into the transatlantic slave trade.”
Maybe if you just read slower and sound out all the words?
The 400,000 figure is obviously in round numbers, but this is the number recorded by our Boarder Patrol who entered the country without their parents that they then lost contact with. Interviews with Boarder Patrol Agents say they had contact numbers to call and check up on these kids and when they called, they got no answer. The kids are gone.
Yeah, there may be some who are okay but these kids are missing and other agencies have tried to track them down so far unsuccessfully. It is a tragedy because the Boarder Patrol Agents say they knew they should not have released these kids but were ordered to. We know we have a huge problem but we don’t know exactly what the problem’s details are. All we know is 400,000 kids are missing, almost all of them from Guatemala. It looks like they were trafficked in.
None of these kids could have entered the country during Trump’s previous or current term because Trump’s policy does not allow such entry. Knowing this, they would likely never have left Guatemala. So this is a problem caused entirely by the sick and twisted policies of child-sniffer Joe Biden, or as his son Hunter calls him, “Pedo Joe”.
BTW, the numbers are way crazier than this. ICE has found at least 85,000 kids, but the original totals of kids missing were as high as 880,000. There are a bunch of numbers being floated by different agencies. The 400,000 figure is in the middle I have found of who is currently missing. This is what happens when you have between 12-20M people cross illegally inside just 4 years.
